Additional text

He has produced not only the best edition of Gellius to date, but also a masterpiece of Latin textual scholarship ... an outstanding linguistic and stylistic sensibility enables Holford-Strevens to detect hidden problems in the text and to reopen well-known ones if the solution does not strike him as satisfactory.
